Too bad the US can’t drill its own oil and give jobs to American companies and US workers. My bet is Obama will not approve this pipeline and give in to radical environmental groups. We all better be prepared to be shivering or sweltering in our darkened homes, standing in line for our ration of $5 gasoline and Great Depression level unemployment all thanks to Obama energy policies.

“Too bad the US can’t drill its own oil and give jobs to American companies and US workers.”

While it is true that the Gulf permitting process needs to get moving, it is simply not true that we are not drilling in the USA.

In fact, almost have the working drilling rigs in world are working right here in the USA.

And if you wish to include Canada in there, the number of rigs in the two countries account for two-thirds of the rigs in operation today.
